Many drivers in Danbury ignore the law when it comes to not talking on a hand-held cell phone or using seat belts. Strictly enforcing these two regulations would benefit the city and its citizens in two ways.

First, we would all be safer if these rules were followed, and second, the city would raise much-needed money if violators were fined. The fine for not using a seat belt is $36 and the fine for using a hand-held cell phone is over $100.

If a police officer -- perhaps one or two who walk Main Street -- was stationed at a traffic light on Main Street for just an hour during his/her tour, the officer would be able to pull over a number of drivers each day. I can see no down side to this suggestion.
